Born in West Africa and raised in Southern Europe, Jacopo’s life was defined by the challenges and opportunities that come from navigating multiple cultural identities.
After leaving his home continent, Jacopo pursued his education in the United Kingdom, where he earned a BA in Sociology and a Master’s in International Business.

Yet, this lack of structured DEI support didn’t hinder Jacopo; instead, it empowered him to become more adaptable, resilient, and capable of relating to people from a wide array of backgrounds.
In fact, his diverse background became one of his greatest strengths.

Whether it was building relationships with international clients, collaborating with colleagues from various parts of the world, or engaging with people from different walks of life, Jacopo found that his ability to see the world from multiple viewpoints made him a more effective leader and communicator.
Notably, working with prestigious clients like the BBC, the Olympic Games and the Tech underscores Jacopo's impact in high-profile and culturally diverse settings. His contributions to these iconic organizations exemplify the tangible results of effective DEI concept in action.
DEI is not only about hiring from diverse backgrounds, but also about tailoring services and marketing to appeal to a diverse demographic of potential customers.
